Game 8: Wild 4, Sharks 1

Best game of the year. Quality, stressful win.

1. Manny being Manny. Fernandez awesome tonight. I thought they
might sit him in the 2nd game of a road back-to-backer, but Manny
started and was the best player on the ice. He even tried a neck save
midway through the 3rd period. Wow.

2. San Jose can forecheck like no one else. I think the puck was in
the Wild's zone for 80% of the game, even when short-handed. No one
can take Joe Thornton off of the puck, he's one strong mofo.

4 out of a possible 6 points on the Western road trip is a big
success. Now back home again for the Kings and Ducks. Roy out.

Wasn't it 4-1?

Seemed like 4-2, but you're right.
